From corporate boardrooms to national stages, Tracy has inspired thousands of leaders to tell their truth, lead stronger, and live more intentionally.

Featured Keynote: Trailer Park UniversityTM
Where Leadership Gets Real
Tracy Spears didn’t go to Harvard. She didn’t go to Yale. She learned everything she needs to know about leadership growing up in a trailer park. As a former D1 college athlete playing softball at the University of Oklahoma, Tracy knows what it’s like to work hard. She climbed the ranks of corporate America working as an executive for 28 years. She wrote best-selling leadership books.
Then she got fired out of nowhere.
And everything changed.
In this unforgettable keynote, Tracy shares the deeply personal stories behind her Trailer Park UniversityTM framework, a 10-part journey through the hard-earned lessons of inclusion, delegation, gratitude, resilience, and truth. It’s real, raw, and radically honest.
With her signature warmth and laugh-out-loud moments, she teaches how to:
- Reframe failure and setbacks as powerful pivot points
- Delegate with influence, not guilt
- Lead with truth, even when it’s messy
- Build a personal ecosystem that supports your leadership
- Stop hiding the parts of you that make you powerful
This keynote isn’t just inspiring, it’s activating. Audiences leave with a fire inside them, practical tools in their hands, permission to step into who they really are and curate their personal ecosystem.

“Tracy Spears is a phenomenal speaker and executive coach. Her materials, particularly on temperament type-casting, are innovative and engaging. I have seen Tracy conduct her workshop three times and each time, I learn a new fact about myself and my colleagues. Attending Tracy’s workshop should be a prerequisite for any professional or manager who works with teams. Tracy will arm you with tools to help you manage up or down, and most importantly, manage yourself.”

She brings a brilliant perspective to this population of growing leaders, especially at this moment in time when it feels like leaders are being asked to be—somehow—both more results-oriented and more empathetic.
